Mobile satellite communication services provider Inmarsat announced that the Global Xpress (GX) and FleetBroadband terminals –manufactured by Intellian – are approved for use with FleetBroadband Xtra.

Designed to enable high-speed broadband connectivity, Fleet Xpress is an-integrated Ka-band and L-band solution that utilizes capacity from the first GX satellite in commercial service, 1-5 F1, and Inmarsat’s existing Inmarsat-4 fleet.

A key Inmarsat terminal manufacturing partner, Intellian continues to support Inmarsat’s GX network services. The recently unveiled Intellian 65cm GX60 and 1m GX100 are both approved for use, along with Intellian’s FB250 and FB500 for FleetBroadband Xtra.

Intellian has been working closely with Inmarsat to test its latest VSAT terminals combined with the FleetBroadband systems live on the Global Xpress network. The GX60 and GX100 terminals were extensively tested live at sea last year, and now with the FB250 and FB500 Intellian are able to fully support the new services from Inmarsat. 

The company is currently offering both 65cm and 1m Inmarsat GX type approved terminals.

Inmarsat has completed the integration, evaluation and testing of the Intellian FleetBroadband Xtra solution incorporating Intellian’s GX100 and GX60 GX terminals along with their FB250 and FB500 FleetBroadband systems.
